Lanston Type Company is somewhat proud to present a collection of the most bizarre, disturbing and baffling printers ornaments we could find. These ornaments were found researching historic decorative material offered by Lanston Monotype as well as other metal foundries, such as Barnhart Brothers and Spindler. Perhaps it was a Victorian sense of humor or someone really thought these were a good idea or perhaps popular taste has just changed so much over the last hundred years, or our forebears were completely insane.
